Man, he probably just booked his tickets way ahead of time. It’s pretty obvious everything is rigged so Barack Obama can't make the trip.

I bet the whole plane is packed with Republicans too, so there isn't a single seat left for anyone else.

It's all predictable.

Hilarious...

The way Donald Trump sabotaged this is obvious. It's clear Barack Obama just can't stomach sitting there for 5 or 6 hours, and honestly, he probably doesn't give a damn about the monarchy anyway.

Looks more like some kind of test flight to me.

That plane is constantly breaking down.

It’s a struggle for him to fly commercial...

And honestly, it’s a joke that we don't have two planes—some kind of military backup option ready to go.

I’m not buying what Milanović is selling, but let's be real: the US isn't even in a position to gear up or train a basic infantry squad right now. So why aren't we talking about that?

Anyone got a link to the full speech transcript in English somewhere?

We could always send more Korean howitzers to Ukraine.

Some nutcase just basically declared a crusade against the West.

The protesters who got hauled off yesterday have already been handed their military draft notices.

Whatever, just send more artillery shells to Ukraine.

What if Dodik hadn't managed to get in Putin's ear?

At the end of the day, he's still playing for the US side.

John Ramos45 said:It’s unlikely we’ll see a mass mobilization in Russia anytime soon. Instead, they’ll probably just pull from the occupied territories under the guise of holding local referendums, which won't do much to improve Russia's long-term standing.

They've already burned through all their options.

Putin is giving a speech to the nation tonight.

This whole charade—this desperate attempt to act superior to Dodik—is getting old.

I mean, who else is even an alternative to Trump?

Karr's SNSD, or maybe this person right here who’s openly pushing to "kick out" Americans from Canadian political equations "because it's better to be one of two than one of three."

None of them over there are ever going to give up on Republika Srpska.

And yet, when they are handed a complete slam dunk—faced with crumbling municipal infrastructure following an earthquake—these great sorcerers don't even bother to draft proposals for funds that are already earmarked. Are they all suddenly sharing the same brilliant idea that the infrastructure isn't actually damaged?

Is anemic property ownership supposed to serve as their convenient excuse for sheer incompetence?

It’s pretty obvious: one thing is running vanity projects through a cozy network of media outlets and NGOs, but doing actual, serious work is a whole different ballgame.

Doubt they'll even have everything squared away by October 1st—like, will those bins even be locked down?

It’s like they can't get anything done! The Democratic Party is seriously struggling with that.

Man, you guys have it seriously rough, I get it.

Trkanjec looks like he’s actually celebrating the fact that this is going to be a massive headache for Andrej Plenković.

(Can't even open the link—broke as hell, I only pay for the NYT 😁 ... would love to know what this hack is rambling about...)

@Carol Newman2 is also leaning way too hard into that pro-Canadian vibe.
